    With the greed of corporations you pay the premium tier for teleportation and low cost shipping to wait a few days.

    I see you are missing the the ever present influence of corporate greed.

    Pay us $30 to get the package to your customer in 3 days, or $150 to get it there in the next hour. Why $150? because people will pay it.

    Once teleportation exist, so do replicators and all costs apart from energy costs disappear.

        With the interpretation of the internet being teleportation of data, your Webbrowser becomes a replicator of data, as e.g. the video that you are streaming from YouTube is merely being copied from its servers, but not deleted from its source.

        In general computers are just copying data, i.e. replicating data.

          wait so if data is like dna, does that make computers like plants with their pollen being data packets like memes, articles, and videos… and we’re the pollinators?

        Ah, yes. That’s why when you upload a photo to facebook, only one friend gets to download it before you have to re-upload it for the next person.

    The physical shipping costs will be much higher, the shipping market will become luxurious and you won’t be able to afford that.

    Knowing how expending machines are more expensive that buying in a shop, even if the cost are lower. I 100% know that even free teleportation would be more expensive for the user.
